March 28th, 2025, marks five years since Mary Collins was brutally murdered at the hands of people she trusted.

In those five years, only one of the four, Kelly Lavery, has been convicted. Lavi Pham, James Salerno, and America Diehl are still awaiting trial.

Salerno and Diehl are currently free on bond.

Every year from March 28th - April 5th Mary's family holds an online candlelight vigil marking the days she was trapped inside Pham and Lavery's apartment.

An auto repair receipt, a red Toyota, and a dog named Major. 

On July 6th of 1988, 12-year-old Sarah Cherry had landed her first babysitting job for a family in Bowdoin, Maine. 

Sarah was excited as she headed over to the Henkel home to watch their 10-month-old daughter. 

But when Mrs. Henkel returned home from work that day, she found her baby sound asleep in her crib but no sign of her babysitter.

She searched for Sarah but found no trace of her. What she did find was a receipt in the driveway bearing the name Dennis Dechaine.

A call home, bruised knuckles, and two small witnesses.

On the morning of August 10th, 2023, 32-year-old Spencer Moen called to report that his 30-year-old wife, Sonja Moen, was unresponsive and not breathing.

When officers arrived on scene, Spencer suggested that his wife had fallen up the stairs and in the bathtub. But Sonja's injuries were extensive and soon Spencer told a whole different story.

 It wasn't long before investigators uncovered a horrifying truth.

A farmer, a geneticist, and a coroner.

On October 2nd, 1976, a farmer and his 12-year-old granddaughter made a grisly discovery.

They found the body of a woman in a ditch off Highway 6 in Grundy County.

For over 47 years, the victim remained unidentified and known only as the Seneca County Jane Doe.

The summer of 2024, the Seneca County Jane Doe was finally identified as 20-year-old, JoAnn "Vickie' Smith. But to this day, her murder remains unsolved.

If you have any information about the murder of Vickie Smith, contact the Grady County Coroner's Office at 815-941-3359.

Surveillance cameras, a freezing pond, and three plea deals.

On December 20th of 2020, the Benton County Sheriff’s Department was called to a home in Cole Camp.

James Mast claimed his four-year-old daughter, Jessica Mast was deceased, and he and his entire family had been beaten by their neighbors, Jessica Aumen and Ethan Mast.

Initially it was believed that James and his wife were also victims of a brutal attack. But the truth was far more sinister than anyone imagined.

A podcast, a librarian, and a genetic genealogist.

After police identified Terry Peder Rasmussen as the man who had killed at least six people across the United States, they were still working to identify the four victims found outside of Bear Brook Park.

Thirty years after the first two blue barrels were found, the case was cracked twice independently and nearly simultaneously in the span of a week.

On June 6th, 2019, The New Hampshire State Attorney's Office announced to the public that three of the four victims had been identified: Marlyse Honeychurch, Marie Vaughn and Sara McWaters.

A serial killer, a trail of destruction and a name police had never heard.

In 1985 in Allenstown, New Hampshire, a blue barrel with the remains of a woman and a young child were discovered in the woods near Bear Brook State Park.

Fifteen years later, a cold case detective made another grisly discovery, another blue barrel and two more victims, both of them children.

As investigators began to retrace the steps of the man they knew as Curtis Kimball, they discovered that he had a connection to New Hampshire and the site where the remains had been found.

After several decades, investigators finally discovered the true identity of a serial killer.

A surprise plea, two blue barrels, and cat litter.

In 2002, 45-year-old, Eunsoon Jun, stopped taking her friend's phone calls. Her boyfriend, Larry Vanner, gave all kinds of excuses, none of them good ones.

After two months, her friend, Renee, reported Eunsoon missing. Eusoon was found deceased in her home.

As police were questioning her boyfriend, Larry, his fingerprints were run at the station, but they came back to a man named Curtis Kimball. Larry wasn't who he said he was... but he wasn't Curtis Kimball either.

A social club, two more disappearances, and an abandoned five-year-old.

Six weeks after Laureen Rahn vanished from her apartment in Manchester, on June 8th of 1980, 25-year-old Denise Daneault disappeared after spending a night out at a social club. 

For years investigators didn’t take her disappearance seriously. 

What they didn’t know was that another Denise, Denise Beaudin, also vanished from the Manchester area a little over a year after Denise Daneault. 

The two women had more than just their name in common, they were both living on Hayward Street. 

But unlike Denise Daneault, Denise Beaudin wasn’t reported missing until thirty five years after she disappeared. 

Denise Daneault vanished from Manchester, New Hampshire on June 8th, 1980. She was last seen leaving the Merrimack Club at approximately 1:30 am. At the time of her disappearance Denise was 25 years old, 5’5, approximately 135 pounds with brown hair and brownish green eyes. She was last seen wearing a brown print skirt. 

Denise Beaudin vanished on November 26th, 1981 from Manchester, New Hampshire. She was last seen at her family’s home in Goffstown. She was 23 years old, approximately 5’5, 140 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. Denise has a distinct overbite. 

If you have any information about the disappearances of Denise Denault or Denise Beaudin contact the Manchester Police Department at  603-668-8711.

A pay phone, three calls, and unscrewed lightbulbs.

On April 26th, 1980, 14-year-old Laureen Rahn vanished from her apartment n Manchester, New Hampshire.

A neighbor reported hearing voices in the hallway of the apartment building...followed by silence and Laureen Rahn seemingly vanished into thin air.

Not long after her disappearance, her mother, Judith, reported a flurry of 3:45 am phone calls where the caller silently remained on the line for a moment before hanging up.

Laureen Rahn is a white female. At the time of her disappearance, she was 14 years old, 5'4 and weighed 90 pounds. She was last seen wearing a white V-neck sweater, a blue plaid shirt, jeans, brown shoes, a heart shaped gold ring and a sliver and blue necklace.

Laureen has brown hair, blue eyes, and a prominent scar on her upper leg from a childhood injury. She has light brown birthmarks under each of her eyes.

If you have any information about the disappearance of Laureen Rahn, contact the Manchester Police Department at 603-668-8711
